Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fluid driven pump suitable for use in a reverse osmosis or filtration system for example a water purifying system, and to a system employing such a pump.
  • the preferred embodiment of the current invention provides a high pressure fluid output flow from two or more lower pressure fluid input flows. It is specifically but not exclusively intended to provide high pressure water for purification by reverse osmosis, where water contaminated by unwanted solutes is forced, at a pressure of typically 60 bar, through a semi-permeable membrane, effectively filtering out those solutes. This process is typically used for desalination of seawater.
  • a further characteristic of reverse osmosis is that the contaminated water input flow needs to be thoroughly filtered, to prevent clogging of the membrane by particulates. It is often cost-effective to provide an additional low-pressure pump to drive the contaminated water input flow through the filter, since this allows a higher pressure drop across the filter, typically 1 bar, enabling a smaller and cheaper filter to be used. Without this additional pump, the pressure drop across the filter would limited to around 0.5 bar by the poor ability of the high pressure pump to suck against low pressures. The additional pump will also be required if, as is often the case, the high pressure pump is not self-priming.
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention is directed to avoiding or mitigating at least some of the disadvantages of these known devices.
  • the invention provides a reverse osmosis or filtration system comprising a semi-permeable membrane or filter, a pump arranged to supply all high pressure fluid delivered to the membrane or filter, part of the said fluid passing through the membrane or filter as purified or filtered fluid, the remainder being a flow of return or flushing fluid which is returned to the pump, the pump being powered only by the return fluid and by an inlet flow of pressurised fluid to be purified or filtered.
  • the pump may comprise reciprocable means bounding a pair of first pressure chambers which alternately receive and exhaust return fluid to reciprocate the reciprocable means and a pair of second chambers also bounded by the reciprocable means and which alternately receive the pressured inlet fluid and deliver fluid at high pressure to the semi permeable membrane or filter.
  • the swept volume of the second chamber may be greater than that of the first chamber.
  • valve means for controlling the admission and exhaust of pressure fluid to and from the first pressure chambers, the valve means comprising bistable elements responsive to fluid pressure across them.
  • the valve means may comprise a plurality of primary poppet valves each having a secondary bleed valve to reduce a force necessary to operate the valve.
  • pistons need not be part of a single reciprocable body (although this is preferred) nor need they reciprocate linearly.
  • the invention can be realised using angular reciprocation.
  • the reciprocable means comprises two double-acting pistons reciprocable in respective cylinders with co-linear axes, opposite faces of each piston respectively bounding a said first and a said second chamber defined by the cylinder, said pistons being joined by a common piston rod passing through a wall between the inner ends of the two cylinders, valve means to control fluid flow in and out of the enclosed volumes in each cylinder at either side of each piston, the pump having two alternating working strokes, a first working stroke supplying fluid to the membrane or filter from the outer face of the first piston and fluid to waste from the inner face of the second piston, the return or flushing flow being applied to the inner face of the first piston, the pressurised inlet flow being applied to the outer face of the second piston, a second working stroke being the reverse of the first working stroke.
  • the invention provides a fluid operated pump comprising reciprocable means having a pair of first pressure surfaces and a pair of second pressure surfaces each bounding a respective first and second pressure chamber, control valve means to supply pressure fluid alternately to the chamber bounded by one of the first surfaces and to exhaust pressure fluid from the chamber bounded by the other of the first surfaces thereby causing the reciprocable means to reciprocate, fluid inlet and outlet valve means communicating with the chambers bounded by the second surfaces whereby the second surfaces pump fluid through the second chambers upon reciprocation of the reciprocable means, the control valve means comprising a plurality of primary poppet valves each having a secondary bleed valve to reduce a force necessary to operate the valve.
  • the pistons may be coaxial and the first surfaces of the pistons may face in opposite directions.
  • the pressure chambers bounded by the first pressure surfaces may be arranged between those surfaces and separated by common wall structure.
  • the control valves may be operated by the pistons when the pistons reach the extremities of their stroke.
  • a said control valve is disposed in the common wall structure.
  • Two said control valves in the common wall structure may comprise a moveable element which is common to both valves.
  • a said control valve may comprise a moveable element stable only at the extremes of its travel.
  • the second surfaces may be of greater effective area than the first surfaces.
  • single moving elements each act as both pump and motor, with the driving pressure applied to one part of each element while another part pressurises the pumped flow.
  • the pumps provide the high pressure input flow to the semi-permeable membrane, and are driven by the motors.
  • One motor is powered by the high pressure flushing flow leaving the membrane, while the other is powered by the contaminated water input flow.
  • This input flow is provided at moderate pressure, typically 5 to 10 bar, by a separate pump, which may be of a conventional type.
  • the preferred form of the current invention differs from existing hydraulic intensifiers, which provide a single high pressure output flow from a single moderate pressure input flow, in that it receives two input flows, one at high pressure and one at moderate pressure, to provide a single high pressure output.
  • existing hydraulic intensifiers which provide a single high pressure output flow from a single moderate pressure input flow, in that it receives two input flows, one at high pressure and one at moderate pressure, to provide a single high pressure output.
  • it differs from those described in US patents Re.32,144 and Re.33,135, mentioned above, in that all of the driving power is provided by the contaminated water input flow, and none by other mechanical means.
  • Re.32,144 covers supplementation, only, of mechanical power input by pressurisation of the feed fluid, since the mechanical drive is required to maintain the sequence of operations and to drive the valve mechanism.
  • FIG. 1 is schematic cross- sections of a preferred pump at various stages of its operating cycle
  • Figure 5 shows a reverse osmosis system incorporating the pump of figures 1 to 4.
  • FIG. 1 shows the device at start up.
  • a piston assembly, 1, consists of two pistons, one at either end of a piston rod.
  • the piston assembly can move freely inside a cylinder assembly, 2, with seals to prevent leakage between the cylinders around the piston rod, and between each end of each cylinder around each piston.
  • Water may flow into and out of each end of each cylinder through eight valves, 3 to 10.
  • Valves 7 to 10 are non-return valves held closed by spring means and opened by water pressure.
  • Valves 4 and 5 are rigidly connected to each other, and are operated by spring means which protrude into the cylinders, where they are contacted by the pistons.
  • a spindle, 11, passes through a hole in the valve assembly, 4 and 5, with clearance to allow flow through the hole.
  • pilot valve means 24 and 25, which, when one or other are closed, seal the spindle hole.

  • Ports 15 and 16 are connected to the high pressure inlet of a reverse osmosis membrane.
  • Port 17 connects with the high pressure flushing water outlet of the membrane.
  • Port 18 exhausts water to waste at low pressure.
  • valve pairs 4 and 5, and 3 and 6 are configured to be stable only at their extremes of travel when water is passing through them. This causes, for example, valves 4 and 6 to close while valves 3 and 5 open. Pilot valves 25 and 26 are also closed by the pressure across them. Closure of these valves stops water flow, causing valves 7, 8, 9 and 10 to close under spring pressure.
  • FIG. 2 shows the next stage of operation.
  • the outer cylinders, 19 and 20, and the right hand inner cylinder, 22, are all at medium pressure.
  • the left hand inner cylinder, 21, is at low pressure, being open to waste via valve 3.
  • the overall pressure differential across the pistons causes the piston assembly to move to the right, creating water flow which opens valves 7 and 9, while leaving valves 8 and 10 closed.
  • Water from the right hand outer cylinder now flows out to the membrane through port 16, and returns through port 17 into the right hand inner cylinder.
  • the outward flow is greater than the return flow, since the cross-sectional area of the outer cylinder is greater than that of the inner cylinder, by an amount equal to the cross-sectional area of the piston rod. Because of this, the pressure on the high pressure side of the membrane increases, forcing the excess outward flow through the membrane, purifying it in the process.
  • the piston assembly will continue to move, forcing water through the membrane, provided that...
  • (1-Ai/Ao) is the ratio of freshwater output flow to flushing water flow. This would typically be 0.1, while the membrane pressure would be 60 bar, implying a driving pressure of around 7 bar.
  • FIG. 3 shows the next stage of operation, where the piston assembly has reached the end of its stroke.
  • the left-hand piston has contacted and closed valves 3 and 23, compressed the spring between valves 3 and 6, compressed the spring on valve 4, and opened pilot valve 25 without closing pilot valve 24, and opened pilot valve 26.
  • the flow through pilot valve 26 is restricted to minimise the loss of high pressure water to waste.
  • Valves 7,8,9 and 10 close under spring pressure since the flow through them is stopped.
  • Valve 4 is held closed by the pressure differential across it, until the left-hand inner cylinder has reached high pressure, via flow through pilot valves 24 & 25.
  • Valve 4 is then opened by its associated spring, and valve 5 closes.
  • valve 5 Once valve 5 is closed, flow through pilot valve 26 reduces the right hand inner cylinder pressure to low pressure and valve 6 is opened by the spring connecting it to valve 3. At this point there is high pressure in the left-hand inner and right-hand outer cylinders, low pressure in the right-hand inner cylinder, and medium pressure in the left-hand outer cylinder, causing the piston assembly to start moving to the left. As soon as this happens, valve 10 opens to admit medium pressure to the right-hand outer cylinder and valve 8 opens to release high pressure to the membrane.
  • This state is shown in figure 4, and is a mirror image of the state shown in figure 2, while the stroke reversal at the end of the leftward-moving stroke is a mirror image of that described for figure 3. The piston assembly thus continues to oscillate.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un système de filtration ou d'osmose inverse, lequel comprend un ou plusieurs multiplicateurs de pression hydrauliques (pompe et moteur intégrés) permettant d'envoyer la totalité d'un fluide à haute pression vers une membrane semi-perméable ou vers un filtre. Ce multiplicateur de pression est actionné par le flux de rinçage à haute pression provenant de la membrane ou du filtre, ainsi que par un débit entrant et sous pression d'un fluide devant être purifié ou filtré. Ce multiplicateur de pression ou cette pompe comprennent un système de va-et-vient comportant deux premières surfaces de pression ainsi que deux secondes surfaces de pression qui délimitent chacune une première et une seconde chambres de pression respectives. Un système de clapet de commande envoie par alternance le fluide sous pression vers la chambre délimitée par l'une des premières surfaces, et évacue le fluide sous pression de la chambre délimitée par l'autre première surface, actionnant ainsi le système de va-et-vient. Un système de clapet d'admission et d'évacuation de fluide communique avec les chambres délimitées par les secondes surfaces, ces dernières assurant le pompage du fluide à travers lesdites secondes chambres lors du fonctionnement du système de va-et-vient. Le système de clapet de commande comprend plusieurs soupapes champignons primaires qui possèdent chacune un clapet de purge secondaire permettant de réduire la force nécessaire à l'actionnement du clapet.
